US lawmakers say Russia's use of social media in the 2016 presidential election amounts to cyberwarfare. Sens Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Angus King (I-ME) both used that term to describe Russian accounts and advertising that sowed division among Americans by promoting fake news and even protests. "This country has to have some kind of cyberwarfare deterrent capacity," Sen King said. "Right now, there's no price to be paid for meddling in our democracy." But there's no explicit definition or legal framework in the United States for what constitutes cyberwar.

The digital age continues to spark creative developments in education. Wireless gadgets are now commonplace in the typical American classroom. But while technology is helping thousands of students reach new heights in their education, many others are falling behind. Dubbed "the homework gap" by researchers, students without the use of reliable internet access at home find it harder to complete and submit homework assignments, further expanding the inequality already seen in low-income communities.

President Donald Trump has been treated better by Fox News since Rupert Murdoch took over for Roger Ailes -- and he knows it. The president has been heard on multiple occasions talking about how Fox's coverage of him has become more positive since Murdoch took the reins at the network, sources at both the White House and Fox News told CNNMoney.
The president "talks about how the coverage under Murdoch is better than under Ailes," a White House source said. According to New York magazine's Gabriel Sherman, President Trump was also heard on a hot mic this week telling Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo, "Rupert's been a lot better to me than Roger ever was." The president's sentiments about Murdoch may explain why he repeatedly gives interviews to Fox outlets while ignoring other networks.
